I think this will be a decent game.  I like Adamsville by 6

Adamsville has more upperclassmen and more speed. McNairy has virtually no junior class. McNairy must win the turnover battle and have few penalties to have a chance. Hopefully there are better times ahead for both programs. Been working thru a stretch where the talent has been down across the county.

Why so little participation in the Jr class

[sportsfan53ray]

McNairy jr class lacked depth but included probably two best players on team. wr/db who started as a fr and soph. Qb who started as a soph. After a big dropoff in quality assistants and overall team talent for the 2020 season, those two decided to play across the state line in Mississippi. Head coach then stepped down in June. Several more juniors gave up football. New young coach. Maybe a three year rebuild.
